Excellent advice "TEKKER" Learn other bands solo's note for note. I used to hate that. But my then teacher at the Conservatorium said; even if you can only learn five notes at a time, you can nail almost any decent melodic solo in 10 weeks. Then you have it for life. Well basically, if you play it! I have forgotten some real fine solo's 'cause I don't get to use them live. Like "Still got the Blues" - Gary Moore. a gorgeous melodic solo.
I say - Go for it to "The Dude", and most of all, HAVE FUN!!!
